medyo OT pero....

ano ang maisusugest nyo sa PC na pang home use (me and my kids). Can you specify the specs and brands (of mother board and other peripherals).

My primary use -
Educational games for kids and not much of high-graphics games and internet surfing.

My secondary use -
other special criteria, could manipulate (capture) video for video editing - copying from cam to cd or dvd. Tama ba na ito ay graphics card related?

My budget sana ay below P20k if possible (CPU, HD, ram and videocard only). Out na sa gastos and Cd/DVD burner and Monitor.

Your inputs are greatly appreciated.
Like what I mentioned, my shop's newest PCs are:
AMD Athlon 2000+ XP
ECS mboard with built-in sound, 10/100 lan card and USB 2.0 ports
256DDR
Palit GeForce FX5200 128bit 128meg
Seagate 80gig HDD 7200rpm
casing 706 black (with clear side panel & fan)
no FDD, no CDROM
Price PHP17,200.00

I would suggest to increase the memory to 512meg and get the fastest processor your P20,000 budget will allow.

BTW, do you plan to get a firewire card for faster digital transfers from video camera? ... anyway, USB 2.0 isn't fast enough kasi for digital video transfers.
